So great was the promise he showed with the violin that rich patrons backed up his amb! ons and seit him abroad to study under the masters there, and as he became a viollnist of power he be: came, too, a man of wide reading and fa fluent speaker of French and Ger- man as well as of English ‘When he had finished bis study he came back to America, hoping tofind fa bright future In the music world of the north. But this hope was never reallzed, for, though there was recor: nit on of his ability among people who knew, the color line was drawn to abut him out of fair opportunities. ‘Phere was no room for him in a great symphony orchestra. ‘There seemed to be no place for him to pur. sue his career on the level for which his taste and his education had pre pared him, And, gifted and accom- plished though he’ was, he had to turn to the gultar and the banjo as the in: struments with which a negro could gain a hearing, Heart Broken, He Died. and T know that when he died.” sald Mr. Mannes, “he dled of a brok- fen heart.” ‘One day, a broken and a disap- pointed man, Douglas was walking slong 27th street, when he heard the strains of a violin rising trom the basement of one of the old brown: stone houses there. ‘. “It fe my son who fe playing,” was the proud reply of the woman'-there to the question that Douglas stopped to ask, and, going in, be found a boy of 18 or thereabouts, ddling away for dear Ife. “You do not play badly.” the negro sald, a litle wistfully, as Mr. Mannes remombera it, for he was the boy with the violin. ‘And out of that mecting grew a friendship between the boy and the Aisappointed Negro, who taught him the things’ he had learned abroad, and ‘who read to him from Poe and Tenny- son, and helped to shape his fe.

Dairy products are no longer cheap, and the man who keeps cows for milk or butter production has an income every month of the year, while the manure from the animals adds fertility larger and better crops every year. It is one of the branches of farming will help the farmer to make a good living while his land is increasing in fertility. One of the main essentials of a good dairy is good producing stock. Land, feed and labor have become too scarce and high priced for the dairyman to bother with anything but the best class of milk-producing cattle. There are cows which do pay a profit on their feed and been. Some even are kept in the barn at an actual loss. The only reliable test of a good dairy animal is the milk record. The young cow must have a dam and sire whose ancestry show high milk-producing records on what he considers a good cow or bull, but the scales and Babcock test are better judges. They establish records without a shadow of a doubt. These are the score cards for judging this class of animals. Breeders of dairy animals must now furnish milk records with the podium. It is best, if means permit, to start with pure-bred dairy animals with high milk and cream records. But if this cannot be done, a start can be made with common cows, bred regularly to a pure-bred male of high dairy standing and of proven merit. The test of this value is the producing performances of his daughters. It is a well-known fact that a bull is influenced by and transmits the characters of his dam to his offspring. If his dam and grandam have shown high records as milk and butter producers, it is safe to conclude that these same qualities will appear in his offspring. A bull with such traits in milk and butterfat. For one to be he is secure in the best in purchasing a male for grading up a herd of common cows, he should be sure that these records of performance are official. In purchasing a dairy bull, in most cases, it is a good thing for several neighbors to join together and purchase a good one. In this way it will be possible for all of them to immediately breed to the best, and thereby secure excellent grade heifers, while if a single farmer were to purchase a bull alone he could not afford to pay out the full price of the highest grade animal. In most localities a good male will soon make his way through outside service fees. In many cases a good neighbor dairy bull has paid for himself within a period of three years. Where a number of neighbors join in purchasing a dairy bull not only is the cost of the animal less to each one but also the cost of keeping the animal diminishes with the greater number owning it. The first cross from a pure-bred bull with a common cow will be a grand animal of half-breed. The second cross will give a three-fourths pure-bred animal. The third will give seven-eighths, and the fourth, fifteen-eighths. Some of these grades for IMPROVING THE MERDS. Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture is now engaged in a campaign to improve the breed of cows throughout the United States, and the results of his educational work are already noticeable, in the older states of the north, where dairy is an established industry, the work of the department consists chiefly in the organization of cow-testing associations and the improvement of city milk supplies. Cow-testing associations have now been started in the west, as well as the north, and Secretary Wilson is trying to convince the farmers of that section that they should take up the northern plan for-getting a better quality of cream as material for making better. The cow-testing associations societies for co-operating in the keeping of herd records by engaging a man who goes from farm periodically to observe observations and keeps records for the herds of all the members of the association. By this means the farmer is saved the expense and trouble of keeping his own record. The principal object of the plan is to detect and ward off interior animals and to perpetuate and intensify valuable characteristics, thus raising the image quality and total productive value. There are now eighty-five cow testing animals and on the subject of the results are accomplished, Secretary Wilson makes this interesting statement: "The records of one of these associations show that the profit was doubled after four years' work. For instance, man with eight cows found, the first man with eight cows found, the first man with eight cows found, the he was lost 54% of our 44 cents on his herd for that month. After three months' testing In many places it will pay to plant more gooseberries. If you have a few old bushes that you like very much, the way to increase them is very simple. Lay down the tips of the branches next spring and cover with earth. They will take root and may be removed in the fall. A still better way, but it involves the loss of one crop of fruit, is to cut all the top of the old bush close to the ground and cover an inch deep he was making a profit of $2 a month on the herd, and at the end of one year his profit had increased to $50 a month. This notable increase was due largely to the sale of five of his poorest cows, and the purchase of as many well-producing ones to take their places. In addition, there were changes made in the method of feeding which conduced to the result." The statement throws light on the methods that are being pursued in at least one line of industry to increase the productivity of the United States. There has been much talk of "scientific" farming, but at the bottom of the movement to improve farming conditions and products common sense education by the department of agriculture is reducing great loss by waste and neglect of opportunities. The farmer is now taking a broader view of the possibilities of the earth and its creatures—Washington Post. CANNING MEAT. Half cook the meat in a kettle, cut meat from the bones. If this is done while the meat is hot, wring out a cloth from cold or tepid water, fold in several thicknesses and set under the glass can, letting cloth come up about an inch around sides of can, and it will not break, no matter how hot the meat may be. If you spill more broth on the cloth be sure to write out excerpts of the recipe and to stop soaking wet the can will break. Having filled can with meat, pour in all the broth the can will hold, and see that it is salted and peppered just right for the table. Screw on cover without rubber, and if hot put in kettle partly filled with hot water, putting a tin in bottom of kettle to set cans on. Three quarts can be put in a well-fitting cover that will keep in the steam, and keep boiling for two hours. Take out one can and cover it with good rubber. If you want to keep the meat for several months, if it is chicken, veal or beef, have hot melted beef suet and fill the cans even full. If you only care to keep the meat for two or three weeks fill up even full with boiling broth. This work must be done with dispatch, not letting the contents of the can cool in the least. Screw on cover to the last limit, and if your covers and rubbers are not defective your meat will keep covered with a generous grease to broth; if not, the can may be filled with lard—Rural New Yorker. DRESS HINT TO WOMEN OF SMALL MEANS The tunic is a very important item in our evening gowns at the moment, and it is in the variety of its draping and arrangement that novel and delightful results will ensue. In fact frocks may be altered and made to look entirely different by the wearer, and the changing about of these tunices. For instance, if one is possessed of a well fitted white satin frock, one may vary the tunic worn over it, and a variety of effects may be obtained. It is certainly worth trying by the woman who has a limited number of frocks and many occasions on which she must wear them. Some frocks may be arranged of shades worn with a frock gives an air of novelty and Some women are *content* to fish out the same frock and wear it continually with even the selfsame spray of flowers plinned on. It does not seem to occur to them what an almost endless variety can be obtained by little changes here and there, with perhaps different ornaments and with dressing in a woman should match both details, and in her desire to look her best she can easily get in to the habit of critically examining herself and her clothes. Do go back to the subject of tunic and the wonderful ingenuity which is exercised in them, that they have a great effect in altering the shape and appearance of the figure is a fact most of us have realized. A lot of us have tried to dress and practically any arrangement of this ubiquitous overdress, but the short or stout woman in this, as in many other details of her toilet, has to be most careful that no hard line, which may detract in any way from her height or any undue funnel, should be worn. All lines should be straight, always keeping in view the wish to add length and take away any suspicion of width in the figure. CRUST OF THE EARTH. The solid crust of the earth, with a specific gravity of only about 2.5, as against 5.7 for the entire globe (crust and liquid or semi-liquid interior) is said by Rosenbuch to consist of the various elements in the following proportions by weight: Oxygen, 47.29 per cent.; silicon, 27.21; aluminium, 7.81; iron, 5.46; calcium, 3.77; magnesium, 2.68; sodium, 2.36; potassium, 2.40; hydrogen, 0.21; titanium, 0.33; carbon, 0.29; chlorine, 0.01; phosphorus, 0.10; manganese, 0.08; sulphur, 0.03; barium, 0.03; chromium, 0.01. with earth. Anywhere from twelve to fifty sprouts will start up. After they are 6 inches high fill in with 3 inches of earth. In the fall you will have as many well-rooted plants as there are shoots, which may be cut off and set in a row. If the land of England and Wales were equally divided, there would be a little more than an acre for each person. The Sunday School Lesson Sunday School Lesson for April 21, 1912. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE TWELVE. Golden Text—Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye go and bear fruit—John 15:16. Lesson Text—Mark 3:7:19; Matt. 5:13:16. Commit, Matt. 5:14. (7) But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judasea, (8) And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, and they about things he did came unto him, (9) And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. (10) For he had healed many; inasmuch as they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as the plagues. (11) And unpleasant spirits, when they saw him being, Thou art the Son of God. (12) And he straightly charged them that they should not make him known. (13) And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth upon him whom he would; and they come unto him. (14) And he ordained twelve that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach. (15) And he sent them to cast out casts. (16) And Simon he surmised Peter; (17) And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surmised them Boanerges, which is, the sons of Brunner: (18) And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartolomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the sons of Alphæne, and Thaddeus, and Shaddai, and Thomas, and James the Inscrion, which also betrayed him and they went into an house. Time—Spring. A. D. 29. Place— Galllee. Exposition.—1. Jesus' withdrawal with his disciples, the multitude was not so much attracted by his wonderful teaching as by the display of his healing power. He is doing great things today, the greatest, not the healing of the body, but the deliverance of men and women from the sick, the sick because of what "they had heard." Doubless they had heard from those who had themselves been helped. We have heard an illustration of the power of testimony. Jesus was not pleased with the notoriety that he was gaining, but rather recollected from it. (Matt. 12:16-21) How unlike many of his professed followers today. But the crowd was in earnest, the early presupposed those who had plagues (v. 10) who were most eager to get to him. It is always so. But, alas! men are seldom so much concerned about their spiritual plagues as they are about their physical plagues. We who have plagues today can touch him if will, and if we do, we shall be healed. The very greatness and eagerness of the crowd necessitated his withdrawal from the plagues recognized his power (v. 13) and those possessed with them fell down before him, and the uncle spirits cried out. "The art the Son of God." They had a knowledge surpassing that of the man, but their knowledge did not do them any good. They recognized him because they were compelled to, but they did not acknowledge him from the heart. Their falling down consisted of that day when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phillip. 2:10, 11). Our Lord did not welcome testimony from such a source (v. 12; Acts 16:17, 18). He charged them that they should not make him known. But neither would he have the multitudes make him known at that time. (Matt. 12:15-21). He regarded the great crowds as a hindrance to the healing of the sick. Popularity and crowds often hinder a man of God today from doing, a real work. II. The appointment of the twelve, 12. Jesus now provides for the carrying on of his work, when he himself should have gone. He gathers about him a company of men whom he will especially prepare for. He spread of the Gospel. Jesus made choice of these twelve men after a night spent in prayer. (Luke 6:12, 13). There was great diversity among them in temperament, previous history and native ability. They are an impressive illustration of the diversity that can use in his work. Matthew is the only evangelist who, in his list of apostles, records the fact that he himself belonged to the desplaced class of publicans. (Matt. 40:3.) The other three evangelists cover the fact up. In each of the lists, Judas iscarlot is mentioned last and his disgrace, as the one, "Which also betrayed him," is noted in each. The apostles are grouped in twos in the various lists. The method followed in the grouping is worthy of study. The most difficult question that arise, in regard to Jesus, is sending him, twelve is why Jesus sent out Judas iscarlot. It seems hardly sufficient to answer that it had been predicted in the Old Testament that one of his immediate circle would betray him (Ps. 41:9; NOVELTY TAFFETA COAT Despite their varied character and attractions, some of us are beginning to find the empire scarfs just a little wearlime. They are so inevitable, and yet in a way necessary, in these days of filth nothingless evening corsages. So the novelty of a little taffeta coat is welcome and provides an alternative and is altogether charming with its old world trimming of bouillonne and the full sleeves to avoid the 55:12:14), and that therefore Jesus chose Judas, whom he knew to be a devil (John 8:70, 71), in order to fulfill this prophecy. The simplest and most natural expression seems to be that Judas had qualities that would have admirably fitted him for a place in the apostolic company and the leadership in the early church, if they had been sanctified. Grace gave him a great opportunity, but he hardened his head and brought upon himself the greatest condemnation and infamy, the first purpose of which was that they "might be with him." All the rest followed from that. The one who would preach him and have power in his name to heal the sick and cast out devils must first of all "be with him," that is, enjoy the most intimate personal fellowship with himself. Having had them with him, he would send them forth to do three things: (1) Preach. (2) Heal sickness. (3) Cast out demons. (4) Heil the soul and body. (5) v. 15 cf. Matt. 10:7:8). Our mission is to soul and body. But Christ puts the spiritual need first. (vs. 14, 15 cf. Matt. 10:7:8). Hee is one of the scientists, and most divine healers, invert and thus pervert the method of Christ. The church has a manifest mission to the sick, but it is moral lepers that it is our first duty to cleanse, and those dead in trespasses and sins that is our most important mission to raise. We must not be so keen that we could best such powers upon others. (v. 15 cf. Matt. 10:1). It is evident: that demonical possession is something more than a mere form of disease; for Jesus carefully distinguishes between casting out demons and healing "all manner of disease and all manner of sickness" (v. 15 cf. Matt. 10:8). Every kind of disease and sickness was to yield to the power of the apostles. These powers were not confined to the twelve apostles. (Luke 10:9-13; Mark 10:17, 18; John 10:20-21; Luke 10:22). No one need bear much of most of these men after Christ's death, but that does not at all prove that their work was in significant. Most of these men were called from the lowest positions in so cleft. Leading Questions.—What does this lesson teach about Jesus. About God's revenge? About slackness? What is the best lesson in the question? Current Notes He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will find a flaw when he may have forgotten its cause.—The Christian Banner. The ministers who go into the communities to preach the gospel which the people need and not so much the gospel which they want are the ministers who are going to be appreciated, even by the people they are pastoring.—The Messenger. What the race needs most today are men of creative rather than imitative power. But men of imitative power are more desirable than hangers-on, parasites, dead weights to themselves and to the communities in which they live.—National Negro Business League Journal. Twenty-three industrial schools have been, directly or indirectly, founded by graduates and former students of Tuskegee Institute. These schools are employing about 150 teachers, nearly one-half of whom are graduates or former students of Tuskegee. Through these offshores apprehended industrially trained and about 75,000 people are being reached through extension work.—The Southern Letter. We again call the attention of our readers to the business enterprises of our race and solicit for them their hearty support. A successful negro business enterprise is a credit to the whole negro race and a living testimonial to the ability of the race to succeed in this way. We are gradually developing our progressive business men and our hearty support of them will encourage them and strengthen their hands.—The Colored Alabamian. How can we hope to succeed unless we have faith in ourselves? This question applies to race as well as to individuals. In so many cases of illness, in which a negro physician is in attendance and said cases become quite grave, there is always some "chicken-hearted" calling to the calling of a "white physician." This action is contrary to common sense. A physician is a physician and color does not determine qualification. A patient can die under the ministration of a white physician, the same as under the attendance of a colored practitioner. The death records will prove this fact. If a color physician did hold tests and fulfill the requirements as the white physician, and succeeds in holding his own, it stands to reason that he is equally as proficient in battling against disease. The negro physician, like other negro business and professional men, is not given a fair chance. As a race we have little confidence in a black own race and color is an open confession of inferiority. We must get away from it—Arkansas Review. crushing of any ephemerality beneath. Just such a coat arranged in the palest rose petal pink silk, accompanying a dress of ivory crepe chiffon and maille lace, with the metre soupon of diamant embroidery glinting through the velling, of the bodice proves alluring. This creation is charming for a debutante. Trust not a woman who says she's tired of earning her own living; she may be having your meal ticket punched with hers soon. Of Interest to Our Women ARE FULLER SKIRTS TO BE IN FASHION? What has been known as the little girl mode is a passing one. At any rate, the dress designers who think its day has been long enough are disregarding it, and are focussing their attention upon those styles that, for want of a better title, and in comparison to the little girl vogues, are called "middle aged." Insead of reducing the material of a dress to the minimum, a greater generosity is noticeable. The new skirts are draped in such a manner that a sense of rotundity is given, in contradiction to the "skimpy" of the tube skirts. It is actually and are with slight of the lined skirt, which are now generation of deboutants will mean that we are returning to the days of servitude to fashion. Instead of remaining in those that make fashion our slave. It is unnecessary to be an alarmist, however. The new toilets, with their delightfully feminine air, are every whit as becoming as the severely straight up and down affairs to which we are now accustomed. They are made of tafetas as supply as can be, and of cloth of cloth of a fitness so delicate that it is surpassed. For the Spring. The one piece frock, with a Tangra mantle overcast, is a pronounced favorite for the spring. Nothing could be more simple than the design of the frock, which looks like a school room gown, and as the Tangra mantle envelopes it completely it is well that no unnecessary elaboration should be made. The cocoon persuasion, and its salient feature is the marvelous blend of two materials and colors that is contrived. A length of velvet or plush is literally wound round the figure, covering the right shoulder and the left hip, and on the other sides of the body there is a drapery of crepe or satin, dexterously mingled with the velvet at points which make a junction necessary to produce a mantle-like effect. From the folds the arms emerge one clad in velvet, the other in satin BEEF JELLY. If one wishes to make sufficient beet tea to last for some little time, a good method is as follows: Get two pounds of the shin of beef, remove all the skin and marrow from the bone, cut the meat into small pieces and have the bone broken up. Then take a knuckle of veal—that is, the knuckle bone—have it broken up and put all into strong earthen jar. Place the jar in a large saucepan of boiling water and tie the cover down with a piece of strong white paper, using neither salt nor pepper. Let it boil slowly all day. When done the jar will filled with meat gravy; strain this, when cold it will be a strong jelly. Pour boiling water over a little of it and you have good strong beet tea. If kept in a cool place this will keep for a week in summer, and of course for much longer in winter. DANGER FROM FLIES. Nowwithstanding all that has been said and written, many people continue to ignore the constant danger from files as carriers of infection. Everywhere one sees food exposed to the visits of those distributors of disease. A series of reports on this subject has recently been published in England, in which it is shown that infections may remain active upon files which have been exposed to them—and their habits thus expose them continually—for from four to ten days. An idea of the distance which infection may be dispersed by files is given by recent investigations at Post-wick, near Norwich, where it was found that marked files traveled nearly a mile from the notorious refuse heap that served as their breeding ground. WHAT TO EAT. An invalid's food requires great attention as regards cooking and serving, and it should be remembered that whether the invalid is only suffering from a slight attack of cold or recovering from a serious illness a great deal depends on the quality and quantity of food. An invalid should be given at a time, as it is necessary that an invalid should have food oftener than a person of health. If each meal is dainty cooked and served the appetite of the patient is almost sure to improve, if convalescence has begun. The seasoning is better omitted, but usually the nurse will be able to decide in this matter. CLEANING A WAIST Here is a splendid way to clean a waist. Place two cupfuls of flour into one quart of gasoline and stir it well. Put the waist in this mixture and allow it to remain there a couple of hours. Shake and stir around, but do not rub. Give a second bath of clear gasoline; put a clean corset cover over a form or pillow, and stretch the waist on this to dry. Then get it wet with a soft brush in order to remove any remaining flour. The waist will look like a new one after the seams have been pressed. SPINACH SALAD. Take one-half a peck of fresh, crisp spinach, wash thoroughly in several waters, put in a steamer and steam for about ten minutes. Turn into a colander and drain, then chop fine. Season with pepper and salt and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Mix well and press into small moulds or cups. When cold, place each form on a lettuce leaf and put one tablespoonful of good salad dressing on each mould. FASHIONABLE SUIT FEATURES. Close clinging lines are no longer the exclusive right of femininity for London, which creates the styles for the masculine world, has borrowed this close fittingness for suits and overcoats. A zealous salesman, as he holds a suit up for your inspection, will give you a story on this order: "English cut, sir, see the form-fitting lines, short skirt and soft front. Yes, this is the soft roll effect—no stiffening in collars and lapels, the whole plan of the coat is to conform to the lines of the body. Longer? Yes, we have them, but the two and three-button sack is the thing. Trousers are cut close, too. The sleeves are also absolutely needed. This is the west to that suit, sir—seven-button style—all London is wearing them. It buttons high to the neck, just leaves enough space for the knot of your cravat. Materials? Well we can give you any anything, but if you want a real flashy suit, you'd better choose the rough goods—tweeds, chevlies, fancy linens, you'd know, sir, serge is good all the time. "Here's an overcoat, sir, English ragian style—all shaggy, yes. Can hardly get your hands on a smooth-finished overcoat—everybody wants rough goods." And after you have heard this solemn salesman disdain for what order you meant who said: "A man's suit is just a man's suit." MY LADY'S MIRROR. As a protection to the face these wintry days, try making a thin paste of a reliable cold cream and a pure toilet water. The toilet water reacts with oil or any greasy ingredient, causing it to be absorbed by the pores of the skin without affecting its soothing and healing powers. Alcohol, prominent, every toilet water has a skin tonic, inclined to hasten the disappearance of abrasions or blotches. Dust the face lightly with rice powder after the application of cream and toilet water. In this way an effectual and lasting velvety masque protects and beautifies the complexion. After the shampoo the hair is refreshed by a spray of some pure scented solution of either vinegar or spirits. Bay rum is one of the best of these ingredients, and their favorite toilet water, providing it is sufficiently delicate. The hair should be held out and the spray distributed gently through the entire mass rather than sent straight against the scalp. After spraying dryer, wash the hair with an ordinary fan, never with a dryer or a current of warm air. THAT FLUSTERED FEELING "When I have so much to do I get in such a furry that nothing goes right!" said a woman the other day. Probably most of us feel like this sometimes. But if you give way to the feeling it is quite likely that you will flurry and fuss all through the day, and have made yourself almost ill with worry by night. One wise woman says that when she feels she is getting flustered over her household or other duties she rests for a few minutes at once. No matter whether she thinks she can spare the time or not, a ten minutes' rest or read in a quiet room works wonders for her, she says, and she is generally able at the end of that time to start methodically and get things done untidy and easily. Anyway it sounds a plan worth trying, especially as the flustered feeling is generally caused by nerves, and rest is the finest thing in the world for quieting these. So the next time you feel like this try the rest cure if you can possibly manage it, and you may be surprised at the good result. CREAMED CODEISH. This is one of the most easily prepared of dishes when the package cod fish is used, for it is nothing more than a white sauce, in which the shredded codfish is heated up or the faked used according to directions. For the white sauce use one tablepoonful each of butter and flour and one cup of milk. Melt the butter over a little fire, stir in the flour until the mixture is perfect smooth add the butter and cook for about ten minutes before adding the fish. Cold boiled eggs, cut up in dice and added to the creamed codfish, make of this a heartier dish, or raw eggs may be cooked with the white sauce to make the dish of higher food value. GRAPE FILLING. Grape jelly, as well as grape marma- lade, is sometimes used for the filling of a cake pie, though perhaps less popularly. An excellent recipe to bake in Washington pie tins is as follows: Cream one-fourth cupful of butter and add gradually, while beating constantly, one cupful of sugar; then add two eggs well beaten. Mix and sift one and two-thirds cupfuls of flour, with two and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and add alternately with one-half cupful of milk to first mixture SMOTHERED CHOPS Put chops, steak or pork in the bottom of a pan. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Put in a layer of sliced potatoes, sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper. Repeat the layers of potatoes, put a slice of onion at intervals through the layer. Almost cover with hot water and bake one hour. Uncook the second ten minutes to brown the top. Serve in the dish in which they are taken. ```markdown ``` Giant Liner Broke In Two When Rush of Water Exploded Boilers ICEBERG WARNINGS UNHEEDED Most of Passengers Tell Same Story About Striking Iceberg and Escape —Great Suffering Reported by Those in Life Boats. New York, April 15—How the White Star liner Titanic, which was the largest ship afloat, sank off the Grand banks of Newfoundland on Monday morning last, carrying to their death 1,601 of the 2,340 persons aboard, was told to the world in all its awful details for the first time last night with the arrival of the Cunard liner Carpathia bearing the exhausted survivors of the catastrophe. Of the great facts that stand out from the chaotic account of the tragedy, these are the most salient: The death list has been increased rather than decreased. Six persons died after being rescued. The list of prominent persons lost stands as previously reported. Practically every woman and child, with the exception of those women who refused to leave their husbands, were saved. Among these last was Mrs. Isador Straus. The survivors on the lifeboats saw the lights on the stricken vessel glimmer to the last, saw the doomed hundreds on her deck and heard their groans and cries when the vessel sank. Accounts vary as to the extent of the disorder on board. Only the Pilitan tearing through in April night to her doom with every ounce of steam crowded on, but she was under orders from the general officers of the line to wake all the speed of which she was capable. This was the statement made last night by J. H. Moody, helmsman on the night of the disaster. He said the ship was making twenty-one knots an hour and the officers were striving up to the orders to smash the record. It was close to midnight," said Mr. Moody, who was in bridge with the second officer who was in command. Suddenly he shouted 'Port your helm.' I did so, but it was too late. We struck the submerged portion of the berg." Of many accounts given by the passengers, most of them agreed that the shock when the Titanic struck the iceberg, although ripping her great sides like a giant can opener, did not greatly jar the entire vessel, for the blow was a glancing one along her side. The accounts also agree that passengers were taken off out of the deck there was no serious panic and that many wished "to remain on board the Titanic, believing her to be unaskable." The most distressing stories are those giving the experiences of the passengers in lifeboats. These tell not only of their own suffering but give the harrowing details of how they saw the great hulk of the Titanic stand on end stern uppermost for many minutes before plunging to the bottom, where they were witnessed by the groups of survivors in the boats they plainly saw many of those whom they had just left behind leaping from the decks into the water. Atlantic - Morning money. Atlantic - Morning money. the charge of the Atlantic North & South railroad is expected by Leslie M. Shaw.

A VOICE FROM OGDEN Dear Editor: It has been some time since you have heard from this section, hence as there are so many false reports from here, I thought I would give this communication that our many friends might know that we are still alive. It's true, it seems that every thing has been done, to becloud our hopes and blacken our record, but victory is in sight. For about sixteen months there has been a cloud of mystery existing in this section. The 22d of February 11th, Mine No. 1, here was taken possession ef by colored miners, not as strike breakers, but as miners who came to work in a mine which had been abandoned by Union men, scattered in different directions of District No. 13. Several attempts have been made to settle this controversy, but the Ogden local No. 2433 U. M. W. of A. refused to stick to the agreement made by the Ogden mines of mine No. 1. Discrimination is the only cause why settlement has not been perfected. Since the suspension began efforts on the part of the oder of the Oden miners, local Union No. 2433 and the Oden merchants have negotiated plans by which they had hoped to drive the Negroes from this camp. Every merchant in Oden agreed not to sell anything to any Negro and their plan worked like a charm for there are only two things we can buy in Oden. Railroad tickets and postage at the Burdens With Goodness. Dr. J. Wesley Hill of New York, speaking at Chicagoers were made to keep the mines from delivering mail to Negroes on route No. 2. You can see that Oden people go to the limit, especially along the line of discrimination. I believe it can give the South a few lessons since the merchants have closed their doors against the Negroes. They have organized an Oden Supply Co., and we are still eating and as merry as larks in the month of June. I wish to say as it now looks that we are here and here to stay.
